running your stylesheet I get:
$ saxon att.xml att.xsl
Error at xsl:choose on line 44 of file:/c://att.xsl:
Only xsl:when and xsl:otherwise are allowed here

Transformation failed: Failed to compile stylesheet. 6 errors detected.
the reason being
xml:space="preserve"
this means that white space in your stylesheet is not stripped and so
essentially acts as if it's surrounded with xsl:text
so
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@id">
is an error as there is non-ignored white space before the when
and
<ns0:acronym>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
is a recoverabvle error as there is already a (white) text node child of
<ns0:acronym> added to the result so you can no longer add attributes.
removing xml:space from your stylesheet (and adding
xsl:output indent="yes"
for clarity)
I get:
